"Fanchon, the Cricket" rs render
ed at the hall last Saturday evening
by home talent, under the manage
ment of Mrs. Clara Angelo Brown,
was superior in every particular to
any entertainment ever presented in
our city. Mrs. Brown has had fifteen
years experience on the stage as
leading character and Fanchon Is
one of her favorite plays, SO that the
troupe had every advantage of the
experience of Il star to guide them.

Brown, as Mother Fadet, the witch,
with her first appearance convinced
the audience that she was no stran-
ger to the foot lights. The entire
troupe acquitted themselves with
credit and there is desire on the
part of the public that the troupe re
peat Fanchon mt an early date. We
give below the cast of characters

To the Editor:-An article signed
Taxpayer" commenting on the
water question appeared in this
weeks Leader which seems to re-
quire an answer. We agree with
Taxpayer that the water furnished
should be "pure, abundant and
cheap" and we mean that it shall be
so, and we further agree with him in
the statement that we expect the
works to pay good profit. If we
do not why would we make the in
vcstment? We will simply add that
the company was organized to benc-
fit Lamar as well as to make money
for the investors. We have secured
the necessary real estate, franchise,
etc., and have contracted for pump,
engine house, boiler, pipe, (overthree
miles) twenty hydrants, valves, spec
ials, etc. Some of the material is
already ell route or will be within a
few day $, and to show how we stand
in this matter we will give the town
of Lamar our entire plant, all in
WORKING order with fire pressure suf-
ticient to throw wateroyer any build
ing in the city for the sum of twenty
four thousand seven hundred and
fifty dollars, and accept the city's six
per cent twenty year bonds in pay
ment therefor, no bonds to be deliv-
cred until the works are in success
full operation. We make this offer
for the good of the city believing the
investment a first-class one. The in
terest on the bonds is but little more
than the city has already agreed to
pay us for fire protection. We will
also state that there is town in this
county that desires to make Just such
an arrangement.
